[Samba] Broken pipe when using ssh with pam_smbpass.so migrate

[mathias dufresne]

Hi Simon,

I never played with Samba in the way you are playing with.

Anyway your issue seems to be very located to pam_smbpass.so or its usage.
Bug from software or admin mistake? As said, I have no idea but perhaps if
you post Samba version, pam version, smb.conf perhaps too... anything to be
more specific about what is really your installation. This could help those
who have played with that to help you.

Cheers,

mathias
